Of course you are. You are blinded by prejudice. The man may not be conservative but he is not as you have grossly misrepresented.
One wonders...... lie or hyperbole?
First, McGovern lives half time in a house in my community in St. Augustine, FL. He remains an ever faithful far left Democrat and is very open about it.
Second point. Do not forget that during the Viet Nam war, while Henry Cabot Lodge was negotiating with the North in Paris, McGovern sneaked over there and was secretly meeting with the North’s representatives. The North took this to be the most confirming sign that they should not sign a peace accord and, instead, fight on because Washington was very divided and Ameriecans were more and more demonstrating ion the streets. As Lodge readied to deliver an announcement of the progress of the talks, McGovern while still in Paris called a press meeting and said there was no significant progress in these talks and that the North had further convinced him that the U.S. should simply pull out quickly and that the North Viet Nam had promised him that they had no intention of invading and taking over South Viet Nam.
There is a lot of blood on McGovern’s hands.
